LPT: Want to start working out but don’t know how to begin? Use a celebrity’s workout routine.

Starting the gym is always tough, especially with a lack of experience. It’s easier tho pick a celebrity who made a similar transformation as you’d like to make, and use their routine. You know the workout is effective because you have seen it in action, and you know it’s safe because it was most likely created by a trained professional.

Celebrity training regimens are often extremely taxing and they don’t care that much about it being “safe”. If you’re just starting working out, you should go slow and pace yourself, not deadlift 400 pounds because wolverine did it. These routines aren’t meant to be workouts you can do consistently for long periods of time, they’re tailored to match the needs of the role. For example, brad Pitt reaching 4% body fat to play Tyler Durden in fight club. That’s not what most doctors would consider “safe”. It was just necessary for the role. Even brad Pitt doesn’t look like that anymore.

Well for me, these workouts worked wonders. I lost 55 lbs using Chris Pratt’s guardians of the galaxy workout, then used Chris Hemsworth’s Thor workout to put on muscle. For me this worked great. You obviously shouldn’t jump straight into an insane workout, and obviously you should adjust the weight to what you’re comfortable with. Obviously no one is going to start deadlifting 400 lbs. it’s the workouts that you should follow, not the weight.

This is horrible advice. Celebrity routines are custom made for specific needs and do hardly apply to anyone else than said celebrity. Please do not follow this advice and only look at celebs for motivation, not actual fitness advice.

Celebrity workouts are commercial products. Perhaps they are endorsed by a celebrity but they were developed by someone else for one goal: to market it using the celebrity's name.

You know the workout is effective because you have seen it in action,

You may get good results if you have the same personal nutritionist, and personal trainer, and masseuse, and all the other. Otherwise you are not doing the routine that got the celebrity results, you are doing 1/6 of it.

But you are much better going with a workout built on something other than celebrity marketing. Or even better, do some studying and create one for yourself.
